The Battle Queen They Blindly Kicked Out (Joanna) novel Chapter 9

The Battle Queen They Blindly Kicked Out

Chapter 9 Apologize

After leaving the dungeon, Joanna listed everything on the marketplace.

In no time, she recovered 50,000 Starcoins.

Selling and sorting the loot took longer than clearing the dungeon itself.

Just like that, Joanna ran the dungeon three more times.

The money in her hand quickly grew to 100,000 Starcoins.

“Let’s go. We’re farming Desolate Castle. You’ll level faster there.”

Desolate Castle was a newly opened dungeon, and very few players had cleared it so far. The drop rates were high.

As a Level 10 dungeon, the entry fee alone cost 100,000 Starcoins.

It also dropped Iron-tier equipment, and with an extremely small chance, even Silver-tier equipment.

A single Iron-tier piece was worth tens of thousands.,

Silver-tier equipment was worth over a hundred thousand.

As long as one or two Iron-tier items dropped, the entry fee would be earned back.

If a high school student entered for free, one run could easily make tens of thousands.

Maybe it really was bad luck.

The moment Joanna arrived at the entrance of Desolate Castle, she saw Lucas and the others.

They were fully equipped, weapons in hand. Compared to them, Joanna was wearing a school uniform. If not for the sword she carried, she did not look like a combat class at all,

More importantly, as a summoner, her class weapons were whips or staves, and she had neither.

Thinking about it carefully, after teaming up with them for two or three years, Joanna had not even managed to put together a full set of gear.

She could not believe she had only realized how bad it was today.

She had truly been blind for far too long.

At the same time, Lucas and the others noticed her as well.

In that instant, excited smiles appeared on their faces, like their scheme had worked.

“Joanna, you finally realized you were wrong? Why did you have to be so stubborn? If you had apologized earlier, this wouldn’t have happened. Now you even came all the way here just to block us at the dungeon entrance.” Cedric curled his lips into a smug grin, wearing the posture of a winner.

Chapter 9 Apologize

As for the idea that Joanna was here to run a dungeon?

Impossible.

Absolutely impossible.

Finished

She was a summoner. Even if her summoned beast farmed Fang Imps all afternoon, it might not even reach Level 1.

How could she possibly challenge Desolate Castle?

She was obviously here to apologize.

Joanna understood the look in their eyes and did not bother explaining. There was nothing worth saying to former teammates who could not even understand words.

“Dungeon Challenge: Desolate Castle.”

“Entry fee deducted: 100,000 Starcoins.”

“Entering dungeon.”

Joanna and the silver wolf beside her vanished from the spot.

The smug smiles on Lucas and the others froze and disappeared.

All four of them frowned at the same time.

“Where did she go?”

“She entered the dungeon? Is she insane? Bringing a Level O summoned beast into Desolate Castle?” Rhoda shouted in disbelief.

Lucas frowned deeply, then slowly relaxed his expression and said calmly, “She probably did it on purpose. She stood near the Desolate Castle entrance, but she must have selected some low-level dungeon instead. She just wanted us to think she could run dungeons without us. But that’s impossible. Her attributes are terrible.”

The others agreed with him.

“Forget her. She’ll only realize our team was the best after she crashes and burns. Let’s go. We’re running Desolate Castle,” Cedric said casually.

The others nodded.

The group used their free weekly entries and entered Desolate Castle.

They had never cleared this dungeon before, but the rewards were simply too good. Joanna had always made them prepare for it and had even stopped them from entering in the past.

Now they wanted to see for themselves what was so difficult about it.

Their vision shifted.

Chapter 9 Apologize

Finished

They found themselves inside a gloomy, ancient castle. Dim yellow oil lamps failed to light every corner, leaving many blind spots in their vision.

Behind them was the dungeon entrance. If they could not handle it, they could still retreat and escape.

They were at least somewhat cautious.

At that moment, a white, semi-transparent figure drifted toward them.

“Castle Phantom: Level 10.”

Lucas raised his shield and stood at the front.

However, his shield passed straight through the phantom’s body, dealing no damage at all.

A bone-chilling cold pierced his entire body as the phantom passed through him.

“HP-200.”

A silent, unseen attack instantly removed a quarter of Lucas’s health

“What?”

Lucas shouted in shock.

Luckily, Rhoda reacted in time. A flash of silver appeared as her sword, carried by a gust of wind, slashed into the phantom-type monster, tearing a gap in its spirit.

The gap healed quickly, and the phantom was still able to attack. However, its health bar was no longer full.

“Castle Phantom (Level 10): Remaining HP: 82%.”

The Castle Phantom immediately switched targets and attacked Rhoda. She felt a freezing cold pierce her chest, and her health dropped by half in an instant.

One more hit and she would be dead.

After the universe became fully data-based, humans were extremely sensitive to death. Their HP was right there in front of them.

“Help me!”

Rhoda screamed.

Neil acted quickly. A beam of holy light fell on Rhoda, stabilizing her HP. At the same time, the holy light splashed onto the phantom, making it let out a shrill scream.

Cedric finally finished chanting his fire spell and blasted it into the Castle Phantom, instantly shaving off 30% of its health.

The Castle Phantom roared and changed direction, charging straight at Cedric.
